Ingredients
Scale
Beverage Ingredients
- 2 shots espresso (approximately 60 ml), brewed fresh
- 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) white chocolate sauce, high-quality
- 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes, large cubes preferred
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk, whole milk or dairy-free alternative
Whipped Cream (Optional)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Brew the Espresso: Brew 2 shots of espresso (about 60 ml) using freshly ground beans for the best flavor.
- Mix in White Chocolate Sauce: While the espresso is still hot, whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of white chocolate sauce until fully blended and smooth, ensuring no clumps remain.
- Add Ice Cubes: Fill a serving glass with 1 cup of large ice cubes to keep the drink chilled longer with minimal dilution.
- Combine Milk and Espresso Mixture: Pour the hot espresso and white chocolate mixture over the ice, then add ½ cup of milk, stirring gently to combine without frothing.
- Prepare Homemade Whipped Cream (Optional): Beat ¼ cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar on high speed using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, usually 2-3 minutes, taking care not to overbeat to avoid turning it into butter.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the whipped cream over the iced mocha and optionally garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or caramel drizzle for an enhanced presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Use large ice cubes to reduce dilution and keep the drink chilled longer.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with oat or almond milk and skip the whipped cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
- Ghirardelli or similar high-quality white chocolate sauces are recommended for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy optimal flavor and coldness.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of white chocolate sauce according to your taste.
